All Ears article week 1

FdA Design for Graphic Communication years 1 & 2

All Ears article week 1 Monday 11 January 2010

I could see the man at the next table was having a hard time from the way he held his drinks-for dear life, it seemed. He stared into the middle distance with an air of furious sorrow and swallowed beer in great mouthfuls, around a third of a pint each time. At the end of his second something like relief came to his face and then he was joined by a friend who bought another drink to his table. Man 1 (upbeat) “How are we.” Man 2 (morose) “In fucking bits.” Man 1 “You haven't slept at all?” He shook his head Man 1 “I don't know how you get away with it.” Man 2 “I don't though, do I? That's why I'm in here.” Man1 “It could be worse.” Man 2 “How? How feasibly could it be worse?” Man 1 “Look, if I’d known you were gonna do the whole self pity thing I wouldn’t have come.” Man 2 “No, I’m sorry. I do appreciate it. Or I will do when I get myself together.” Man 1 “Well be sure and give me a ring when that happens.” Man 2 (finishing his pint) “I’m feeling better already.” Man 1 “Good, well, one step at a time eh?” Man 2 “Yeah.” Then he got up and walked to the toilet and was sick so loudly you could hear him through the door and over the jukebox, which was playing Christmas tunes.
